about

I'm an electronic engineer and artist-researcher exploring the boundary between technology, sound, and intelligence. My background spans aviation systems, aeroponic indoor farming, and robotics, with experience in ultrasonic transduction, embedded systems, and mechatronic design.

Across these disciplines, I'm drawn to how simple systems can create complexity and beauty. That curiosity led me into embedded audio, music production, and interactive instrument design - developing tools that merge sound, light, and touch to make generative creativity accessible and alive.

We live our lives on the fractal edge of what is possible. Once something is automated, it's interesting the first time, but less so. My work lives in that space - trying to make generative systems that stay alive, that remain surprising. The Cellular Autonnetz is one of those systems: a way of exploring the threshold between machine behaviour and human fascination. It's about emergence, limitation, and the endless loop between thinking and making.

I create instruments that listen, react, and evolve - systems that behave like collaborators rather than tools. My current research at the University of Bristol explores how awareness and intelligence can emerge from minimal collectives, bridging engineering, sound design, and AI.

For me, building is a form of understanding. Each project is an experiment in how we can use technology to uncover new forms of expression - and how, through making, we might better understand both machines and ourselves.
